Thalion had noticed them a mont ago but didn't want to interrupt Chloe. They were a lot weaker than those in the depths. After all, they were just level 53. Three of the four shapeshifters shot through the water in panic after seeing the squids.
"Hey, guys, where are they? I can't see them," Jack asked in confusion while turning around.
"Jack, you idiot, RUN! One is right behind you!" Chloe yelled from afar.
"Wait, what?!" Jack exclaid as a giant squid appeared behind him, and one of the thinner and faster tentacles shot out to grab Jack. Jack tried to swim away, but it was too late. The tentacle reached him and grabbed his tail, and Jack was yanked back.
"No, Jack!" The other three scread in fear.
They knew there was nothing they could do to save their friend. Thalion activated aqua lance and shot a condensed beam of water at the squid, ripping the tentacle and the squid into pieces. Squids are very good against most marine life, but against powerful water magic like his, they were just big targets. Their skin couldn't protect them at all.
"Holy shit!" Eddie exclaid in surprise after seeing how the squid got destroyed, while trying to evade the other squids, which tried to catch the escaping pikes.
Thalion was on the chase, and his slim, long body glided through the water with incredible speed. Another aqua lance and a waterslash later, all the squids were dead.
"Oh god, you are really strong enough to kill us," Josh said with fear in his eyes.
"Ah, damn it!" Kael scread in anger, punching the railing.
"What happened?" Kai asked intersted.
"Not sure what, but there is blood everywhere in the water. They must have died," Kael said reluctantly. "Let's return to the base, nothing we can do here."
"This might be a failure, but the skyships should return soon from the mountains with the crystal. Then our equipnt will get significant upgrades," Kai said calmly.
"Although Thalion barely gained any level, he won't be a threat in the tutorial—just a treasure chest we need to claim," Kai continued.
"You are right, ti to leave," Kael said. A mont later, the ship rose into the air on the way back to their base.
"Hey, what were the options we have again?" Josh said in fright, looking at the powerful serpent gliding through the water thirty ters under him. Josh only now noticed the fins on the side, giving the long creature more speed and maneuverability.
"Well, I am quite safe here, so I don't really care what you do, but I will kill you if you try sothing," Thalion said calmly.
"Why don't we go back and tell them that you escaped?" Josh stamred, still afraid of the serpent. It was astonishing what rarity that serpent was. If a level 42 was this powerful?
"Uh, guys, I just checked the surface, and they are gone," Chloe said in confusion.
"What? They left us?" Josh exclaid in fear. "Oh no!"
"Hey, look, guys, I’m a giant squid!" Jack happily announced after switching his form.
"Look, look! The tentacles are going crazy!" Jack laughed while letting the tentacles go like a helicopter.
"Jack, it's not ti for that," Chloe interjected, annoyed.
"Oh, I am so dizzy right now, guys," Jack said while coming down.
"Guys, what are we doing right now?" Chloe asked in panic.
Thalion had enough. He needed to get to the deeper parts to hunt, or maybe...
"I have an idea of what we can do," Thalion said. "A few kiloters from here are reefs with pearls on them. You collect the pearls for , and I keep the stronger beasts at bay."
"But you need to help us get better forms," Eddie said after a while of thinking, and all the other pikes nodded, which looked weird as fish, even weirder as giant squid.
"It will happen anyway; there is a lot of life around the reefs," Thalion explained. He didn't really know where the reefs were, but it couldn't take too long until they found the giant reef they passed by last ti.
